About this Item

Paperback. This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Vector and Parallel Processing, VECPAR 2000, held in Porto, Portugal, in June 2000. The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully selected and improved during two rounds of reviewing. The papers are orgainized in topical sections on computational grids - languages and tools in multiplatform environments, cellular automata and applications in computational physics, linear and non-linear algebra, imaging, and finite/discrete elements in engineering applications. Book Plan From a total of 66 papers selected on the basis of extended abstracts for p- sentation at the conference, a subset of 34 papers were chosen during a second review process leading to their inclusion in the book, together with the invited talks. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

This book is the ?nal outcome of VECPAR 2000 – 4th International Meeting on Vector and Parallel Processing. VECPAR constitutes a series of conferences, which have been organized by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto since 1993, with the main objective of disseminating new knowledge on parallel computing. Readership of This Book The book is aimed at an audience of researchers and graduate students in a broad range of scienti?c areas, including not only computer science, but also applied mathematics and numerical analysis, physics, and engineering. Book Plan From a total of 66 papers selected on the basis of extended abstracts for p- sentation at the conference, a subset of 34 papers were chosen during a second review process leading to their inclusion in the book, together with the invited talks. The book contains a total of 40 papers organized into 6 chapters, where each may appeal to people in di?erent but still related scienti?c areas. All ch- ters, with the exception of Chapter 6, are initiated by a short text, providing a quick overview of the organization and papers in the chapter. The 13 papers in Chapter 1 cover the aspects related to the use of multiple processors. Operating systems, languages and software tools for scheduling, and code transformation are the topics included in this chapter, initiated by the talk on computing over the Internet, entitled Grid Computing,byIan Foster.
